Question

Describe a simple experiment to illustrate that like poles of two magnets repel each other while unlike poles attract.

Answer 1

• We will take two bar magnets.
• Now, holding up the other magnet, if we move the north pole of first magnet near the north pole of other magnet, we see that both the magnets will repel each other.
• Now if we move south pole of second magnet near the north pole of magnet first magnet, we see that both the magnets will attract each other.
• The above experiment proves that like poles repel each other while unlike poles attract each other.
